  • the wellgelradiganterrorismer comprises a arranged in the measuring space 1 of the counter measuring insert, in which an impeller 40 is rotatably supported by a wellgelradwelle 30.
  • the impeller shaft 30 interacts with a signal or pulse generator 20 arranged in the measuring space 1 in such a way that, during a rotary movement of the impeller 40, it rotates via three inductive sensors 10 designed as coils.
  • the signal generator 20 is designed as a metallic, preferably closed-loop, loop-shaped component, also referred to below as a metallic self-contained or closed ring 20, which is inclined at an angle .alpha. (10 degrees ⁇ .alpha. ⁇ 45 degrees), preferably approx 20 degrees, to the plane of a circuit board which carries the inductive pickup, is arranged on a carrier element 21, so that the signal transmitter 20 can be guided past the coils 10 at different distances.
  • inclination angles of the ring 20 between 10 and 45 to the inductive transducer bearing board prove to be beneficial.
  • FIG. 2 An exemplary oblique arrangement of the signal generator 20 to the axis of rotation 23 of the impeller 40 is in Fig. 2 shown schematically.
  • the rotation of the impeller 40 can be detected electronically by means of a generated during the rotation of the impeller 40 inductive scanning of the rotary signal and evaluated by a downstream evaluation.
  • the three coils 10 are arranged in a separate built-in part 50, the contour of which projects down into the measuring space 1 of the counter or is arched into it, the metallic ring 20 circumscribing this contour.

  • the inclination of the ring 20 is adjusted accordingly.
  • the lowest point of the circumferential ring 20 should be at least 5mm away from the lower bobbin tip seen to the board, so that there is no magnetic short circuit at that point.
  • the ring 20 should be guided over the tip of the bobbin, since then no longer scanned sideways and a loss of shorted field lines is formed.
  • Optimal here is the previously mentioned inclination of the metallic ring 20 of 20 degrees to the plane of the board, which carries the coils 10. This has proven to be advantageous in optimizing the ratio between the flow behavior in the medium of the water meter, the flow through the inclined ring 20 and the damping amplitude.
  • a too weak tendency to ring causes that the lowest point of the ring 20 also mitigates the coil 10 which is close to it. Therefore, the attenuation amplitude becomes smaller. Too steep a position of the ring 20 causes the flow in the medium is too much affected.
  • the electrical signal generated by the measuring arrangement according to the invention is evaluated by an evaluation, not shown, and so detects the number of revolutions of the impeller 40 and evaluated.

  • the metallic annular member 20 only a portion of the component 20 may be bent in the direction of the bobbin or formed as an edged formation, so that this portion dips into the coil height.
  • the circumferential annular member 20 does not have to be inclined, but it is the partial area folded in the direction of the bobbin, in each case to act exactly at one of the three coils provided 10, it just sweeps over.
  • the circumferential metallic annular member 20 may for example be injected, clipped or glued by means of the support member 21 on the impeller 40 by fasteners.
